‘Game of Thrones’ Season 5 Will Visit Dorne, Queen Elizabeth to Tour Belfast Set

Although there was plenty of speculation following leaked casting details of several Dornish characters, “Game of Thrones” showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss have now confirmed that season five will pay a visit to Dorne.

The upcoming season of the hit HBO drama will be filming in Spain so it was fair to deduce that the show would be set partly in Dorne, one of the nine regions of the Seven Kingdoms and the birthplace of Prince Oberyn Martell (Pedro Pascal).

“There will be Dorne, and we’re excited about it,” Benioff and Weiss told Entertainment Weekly in a joint email statement. “Who wouldn’t want to hang out in Dorne? They have admirable values and priorities. And have you seen Oberyn’s coat?”
